A Case Study of Visalia Rescue Mission

The weight and potential implications of a succession season can bring a mirage of emotions and tactical questions. There are a million things to consider, and your organization is in a vulnerable position. Where do you begin?

Take a look at this story recounting our journey with Jason and Visalia Rescue Mission as they navigated their Executive Director succession journey.

We are never surprised by the complexities and relational nuances that must be considered. We’ve seen it all, and we’ve walked alongside boards and organizations shepherding them through that journey successfully, time and time again.

We know what it takes to:

  • honor the past
  • steward the future
  • protect organizational continuity
  • avoiding mission drift, and 
  • keep stakeholder confidence high

If your organization is in or preparing for a season of succession, don’t go it alone! Schedule a Discovery Call and allow us to sit with you as you consider the best path ahead. There is too much at stake and we want to join you in that journey.
